Gem-like porcelain vase by Doug Irish-Hosler (1942-2013). This piece from 1987 exemplifies his mature work, which is characterized by a postmodern sensibility, and a complex combination of techniques, including raku, stenciling, and metallic china painting. Irish-Hosler was a modern renaissance man; in addition to being an accomplished potter, he was also a sculptor, painter, teacher, writer, and orchid breeder! His distinctive work has been exhibited in over 200 galleries, and is included in prominent studio pottery collections in the U.S. and Asia. Vase is approximately 7" tall.
